April 29, 2012 ~ Aloha! ~ Inagural Wonder to Hawaii-Part 4

[chip&dale&fun]

Happy Friday

Aloha Kakahiaka.....

And an early St. Patrick's Day to Everyone.

I had two yards and was able to make the skirt....I had one piece of 14 inches left - no border was left, along with several scrap pieces.

I originally planned a tiered skirt but after making the pattern with cotton I abandoned the idea for this fabric. Fair warning, it frays, so I ended up with lining it as well as finishing the seams. It is much better for straight stitching and not gathering....But I am not a regular seamstress.

Enjoy whatever you decide.

I have no border left either. For two kids vests it was just enough border to go around. There is plenty of non-border fabric left.

 

[Happy Goofy]

Has it been decided that we will wear our shirts when we get on the ship?
I think it would look great and wear them to dinner that night. Will go along with whatever is decided.

oh, wow, that is beautiful! I am leaning toward a skirt. I can wear it with a cami and the Hawaiian shirt we bought from Val and Bob. But I might be able to make a dress, after all. My problem is I like to cover up my legs as much as possible!

Have a few questions for everyone:
As a group are we all panning to wear our shirts for embarkation?
Does anyone know when a group photo is planned?
Do we have a time and place for our Champagne Girl event?
Have the lists for the candy exchange been posted yet?
I have to focus on some school work for the next several days and may not be on line for awhile. Just trying to update my itinerary.

Hi disneygal....as far as the champagne girls tasting goes....I have submitted my request date and time to DCL two weeks ago. I have not heard back yet. That is not unusual. They won't assign this early out. We have to wait. Also, they may change it along the way. That's why I need your stateroom numbers. If they change it while we're onboard, I will leave you a message letting you know.

Sounds like everyone will be wearing their shirts for embarkation and there may be a group photo day! I can't wait!!

If anyone needs a Cruise shirt in a Medium, let me know!! I found my size small already!

Hooray!!

 

[Pixiegran]

Well, THAT's a NOT-SO SECRET mickey anymore

Don't want to put a name or anything on it...just a logo ....something so they know their secret Mickey is thinking of them that day

Trying to "budget" for all of the extra stuff on my cruise today. I have the cruise paid for and have my budget for excursions, internet fees and tips. What else are you guys budgeting for??

The other things that I figure I will end up adding (since I do half of the time) is one salon visit, Palo, an occasional drink -or three- that I actually pay for , maybe bingo once or twice since it's a long journey...and maybe a couple items from the gift shops. But assigning a monetary value to that is tough!!

We do get one Palo visit free, but on such a long cruise, will probably do brunch again. We're staying on board for the 7-night to vancouver, so I'm trying to be "good" with finances, but we will see.....!!

I was just wondering; How many of us were on the Alaska Inagural Trip Last May? I have a very specail DVD from a Seattle TV Station that was on the trip with us I would like to give copies to those who would like one.
If you would like one,, Please PM me with your Name & Cabin number and sometime during the cruise, you will get the disc in your FE....

Six weeks from today, we will be on a Plane heading to LA/ DL/ and the GC for two days, then to the Wonder........

Hope all are pakced....WE'RE DONE!!!! kidding..... or are we......?

Good ones Bev! I SHOULD budget for a spa day! We do have reservations at Palos too, so I should go ahead and add those as well!

You are right gifts are a tough one! I know if I budget a certain amount, I'm going to spend it too!!

Then a longer skirt.....It is the tropics, bare legs are fine.

If you have two yards you will have enough material for a longer skirt....you will have to join it and cut the border off

Bev, since you a bingo player, how does the Disney bingo work? What does it cost to play?

I think Sandy - JiminyC_Fan was looking for a medium.

Speaking of Palo.....does anyone have an update for those of us that are still waiting to get a table for Palo brunch????
